PERMEABLE PAVERS

Permeable pavers make it possible to have an attractive surface suitable for pedestrian and vehicular traffic while minimizing the impact of rainfall runoff on storm drains and the surrounding environment. Where most paved surfaces are impervious and create immediate, contaminated runoff during rainstorms, permeable pavers allow runoff to flow between the joints of the pavers. The base layer of the paving system delays, filters, and cleans the runoff before it passes into the ground water table or into the storm drain system. Watch the permeable paver test video below.
